We are now accepting student applications for our 2019 medical mission to Guatemala. We receive so many applications from highly motivated and talented students; it is often difficult to make our selections.
Fund raising is important to the success of this program. We recognize that people are asked to make donations to many good causes. However, this program is entirely self-funded, and whether we like it or not, fund raising is critical. We have helped many people, which motivates us to keep going and continue to reach out.
Summer is our slow season, so I do not have much to report. Our time-line is as follows:
Accepting applications - September/October
Applicant selection - October
Purchase supplies - December - February
Leave for Guatemala - March 2019
I am sharing a link to a video made by one of our students on the March 2018 trip. This amazing 4 minute documentary captures the hard work of all those involved in this project.
